However, learned counsel for the appellant points out that an amount of Rs. 70,000/- has been awarded towards consortium/loss of love and affection to the two claimants. 2. Towards the consortium, compensation of Rs. 96,000/- should have been awarded. Therefore, the compensation will have to be enhanced by Rs. 26,000/-. 3. By adopting the reasoning in the judgment and order dated 08.05.2026, this appeal is disposed of by enhancing the compensation amount to Rs. 26,000/-, with interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of filing of the claim petition till the actual payment/deposit. (2026: JHHC: 13902) 2 4. Learned counsel for the appellant states that the amount originally awarded has already been deposited before the Executing Court. Accordingly, the Executing Court should now transfer the said amount, together with any accrued interest, to the claimants. 5. For this, learned counsel for the claimants will have to provide identity and bank details, so that the amounts can be transferred into the claimants’ Bank account. Under no circumstances should the amount be paid to the claimants other than through the regular banking channels. 6. The statutory amount deposited by the appellant in this Court, along with any accrued interest thereon, is directed to be transferred to the executing Court. The Executing Court must transfer even this amount to the claimants’ Bank account, as indicated above. 7. The appellant should deposit the balance amount before the executing court within four weeks from today, with necessary intimation to the learned counsel for the claimants. The Executing Court must transfer even this amount to the claimants’ Bank account, as indicated above. 8. The apportionment ordered by the Tribunal is not disturbed and must be followed. The order for pay and recovery is also not disturbed. 9. This appeal is disposed of in the above terms. Pending I.As., if any, will not survive and are disposed of. 10. No costs. (M. S. Sonak, C.J.)
